Default 8INXP ATA DRIVE problem HELP!!

Please could someone help with a major problem I'm having at the moment.

I dual boot my PC with Bootmagic to two different versions of XP. I built
the PC from new and had no problems setting this up.

I have recently decided to have a fresh install on both sides, but have run
into a problem. Everytime I install the Inf setup, Application Accelerator
and ATA 133 drivers, it moves the disc numbers around. I use the RAID/ATA133
as ATA133 for extra drives. But after the drivers are installed the two
AT133 drives on this becomes DRIVES 0 and 1. My original C drive on the IDE
bus becomes 2. This never used to do this, and the problem is that boot
magic looks at disc 1. How can I reassign the drive numbers.

In the system/hardware the two ATA133 drives are listed on a SCSI controller
(which is how it always was) and the other IDE drive as normal.

I even trying removing the partitions and having a single drive but it still
does it. The drive is fine up untill I need to install the ATA drivers (the
drives are hidden until then). I.m installing exactly the same ways with the
same drivers as I did before??????????

Any Suggestions



Gigabyte 8INXP
P4 3.06
2G ram
40 Gig HD on IDE 1
DVD on IDE 2
80 Gig HD on ATA 1
40 Gig on ATA 2

Cheers
